ABSTRACT: Hydrogels have been widely applied in medicine for applications including controlled release drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and ocular devices.  Hydrogels based on “smart” materials that reversibly swell and deswell according to their environment offer additional advantages in terms of providing switchable physical and biological properties under relevant in vivo conditions.   However, conventional synthetic “smart” hydrogels suffer from significant limitations in medical applications in terms of their difficulty to non-invasively admin

Abstract:  CO₂ reforming of CH₄ plays important roles in the development of clean coal technology, renewable energy production, and biomass utilization. However, a viable (active, stable, and economical) catalyst is a must to facilitate this reaction. Ni-based catalyst is one of the most promising catalyst candidates but a long-term problem for this kind of catalyst is its tendency to be deactivated by carbon formation.

Abstract:  The Hydrogen and Hydrogen Isotopes Technology Branch (formerly known as Chemical Engineering Branch) holds expertise and facilities that are focused on the development of energy technologies that make a beneficial impact on Canada’s use of clean energy.  This capability area helps to ensure a clean and healthy environment for Canadians through development and use of clean energy technologies, and with securing options for Canada’s future energy needs and sustainability through nuclear technology.
